Difficulty moving bazzite install to a new ssd
Hi there, as the title states I got a new ssd and I'd like to move my bazzite boot to it. I've read online that the best way to do this might be to use Clonezilla, but I'm a bit of a linux newbie and I'm really struggling to follow along with the process. Could anyone help clear things up for me?

oh fantastic, thank you so much! I'm so glad this exists
I'll give it a go
okay it's all set up but I have another tiny question, is there any way to tell which drive I'm booted on? I want to format my previous drive but the new one looks identitcal and I really don't want to mess up
if you're using something like gparted, you can see the maximum size of the drive you're looking at
or the product IDs
for example, my Corsair SSD has a C at the beginning of the ID, and my Western Digital drive has WD at the beginning
ah, okay I see
okay great
kde partition manager won't let me unmount the previous boot partition though, apparently
you might be booting off of it
use a standalone image, like gparted

thanks for your help
